"Gu Dongliu has gotten stronger."
Many great figures from the Barren State looked at Gu Dongliu in the air. They had all been present at the wedding banquet when Bai Luli and Gu Dongliu fought. Now that they were watching Gu Dongliu fight Zhan Xiao, they could clearly feel that he had gotten even stronger. His Life Spirit seemed to have evolved, and his spiritual will and control over the power of rules of heaven and earth had improved to a whole new level.
As one of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhan Xiao's strength would not have been so easily defeated. Furthermore, the two of them had fought before, which meant that Gu Dongliu's strength had improved greatly. Even Zhan Xiao himself did not expect to be injured by a single blow.
At that moment, Gu Dongliu continued forward. Zhan Xiao looked up at Gu Dongliu with a dark expression. The clash just now had made him realize that he was no longer a match for Gu Dongliu.
He retreated in a flash, not wanting to fight Gu Dongliu head-on.
Gu Dongliu's expression was cold. He took one step forward and disappeared. In the next moment, the celestial figure appeared in Zhan Xiao's mind again. It was as if the surroundings were filled with Gu Dongliu's silhouette. He knew that it was an illusion he had created, an attack from Gu Dongliu's spiritual will.
"How did he get so much stronger?" Zhan Xiao's expression was grim. He released his Life Spirit and gave it his all.
On the other battlefield, Yuan Hong and Kong Yao's battle was earth-shattering. They fought high up in the sky, and countless divine elephants could be seen. Kong Yao was too strong, but even so, Yuan Hong had a divine implement to protect himself and seemed to be undefeatable. He was able to nullify every attack. After all, his own strength and defense were extremely strong.
Muffled sounds exploded in the air. Zhuge Qingfeng and the others were also engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air. Several top-notch figures on the Barren Sky Ranking surrounded Zhuge Qingfeng. However, Zhuge Qingfeng was able to conjure countless illusory figures within the Eight Trigrams Matrix. He was able to change his attacks and positions at will, making him extremely difficult to deal with. Even powerful figures like Yan Wuji and Di Kai were unable to truly harm him.
On the other hand, some of the younger generation were relatively relaxed, such as Qin Zhong and Ye Futian. They looked up at the battle. With their plane, they were unable to interfere.
Of course, the top figures did not attack them either. This was a battle between top figures. As long as one side won, the Noble Plane figures would be squashed like ants.
Before that, they naturally would not waste their energy on this. Moreover, who would dare to make the first move?
If the people from Zhisheng Cliffs or Sword Saint Villa were to kill Ye Futian, Yuan Hong and Zhuge Qingfeng would obviously go after their descendants.
As such, there were only two battles that would decide the fates of many: the battle between Kong Yao and Yuan Hong, the battle between Zhuge Qingfeng and Yan Wuji, and the battle between Gu Dongliu and Zhan Xiao.
Ye Futian was very nervous. Today's battle in Xuanwu Tower would decide the fate of many. If he was defeated, the consequences would be.
"Since the path of the Divine Path is fraught with death, how can one set foot on the Divine Path without conviction?" He looked at Gu Dongliu and said, "So what if it's the holy land of Yu State? Zhan Xiao, one of the Nine Warriors, was just as vulnerable. Who says that my Third Brother won't be able to prove Sainthood in the future?"
His words were directed at everyone present. There were some mighty ones ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking that he was not familiar with, and there were also some elders that he knew. However, he did not ask anyone to intervene. After all, the other party was Zhisheng Cliffs. Who would be willing to get involved so easily?
But at the very least, he didn't want anyone to stand on the opposite side, otherwise …
Many people's eyes sparkled. Yan Wuji and the others must have miscalculated when they found out that Yuan Hong had a Saint-level ritual implement.
For Yan Wuji and the others, there was no way out. Ye Futian was reminding them.
Qin Zhong took a look at the battle between Zhan Xiao and Gu Dongliu. At that moment, his brother Zhan Xiao had been avoiding battle, yet he was being crushed all the way. He was rather disappointed. Zhan Xiao was his brother and one of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs. He represented Zhisheng Cliffs when he was out in the world. However, Gu Dongliu had said that Zhan Xiao was a weakling and that he was being crushed like that. That had undoubtedly shamed Zhisheng Cliffs.
"I heard that you were the first on the Law Rank before Ximen Hanjiang," Qin Zhong looked at Ye Futian and said.
No matter what Brother Zhan Xiao had done, they would have to deal with it when they got back. But now, he could not bear to see Zhisheng Cliffs being humiliated. He would have to avenge the humiliation that Brother Zhan Xiao had suffered.
Ye Futian looked at Qin Zhong. This person was of the same Noble Plane as him. Kong Yao had been by his side all this while, which showed how high Qin Zhong's position in Zhisheng Cliffs was.
"Yes," Ye Futian spat out.
"I fought with Ximen Hanjiang in the Holy Zhi Palace before, and it was just one attack. I asked the Holy Zhi Palace if the students of the Holy Zhi Palace could represent the best of the Barren State, but they did not answer. Later, I heard that you were known as the first of the Noble Plane in the Barren State." Qin Zhong looked at Ye Futian and sounded very calm, as if he was not in the middle of a battlefield.
"It just so happens that I'm also the first below the Sage Plane in Zhisheng Cliffs," Qin Zhong said slowly.
Qin Zhong said slowly. His intention was clear. He wanted to fight Ye Futian.
In an instant, the eyes of countless disciples around them turned to look at Qin Zhong and Ye Futian.
They had heard about what happened in the Holy Zhi Palace. Ximen Hanjiang could not even withstand a single finger. Qin Zhong was rumored to be the most exceptional among the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs.
And Ye Futian could indeed be called the first of the Noble Plane in the Barren State.
While the battle would not be as earth-shattering as the other battles that had taken place, it was nonetheless something to look forward to.
It was especially so for the younger generation. The mighty ones of the previous generation who were ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking were suppressed by Kong Yao alone, and they had to rely on Saint-level ritual implements to be able to fight him.
Then, what about their generation?
Gu Dongliu had already shown his talent to crush Zhan Xiao, but Ye Futian and Qin Zhong were even more symbolic figures of the younger generation of the two states.
Qin Zhong, like Bai Luli, was said to have the potential to become a saint in the Barren State.
But Ye Futian, Di Gang, had crushed Ximen Hanjiang and was a legend in the Barren State.
Di Gang, Li Futu, Huang Jiuge, and many others were present. They stared at the two of them, looking forward to the clash.
"You said it yourself. You're only the first below the Sage Plane in Zhisheng Cliffs," Ye Futian looked at Qin Zhong and said. His intention was to fight tit for tat.
"Please."
Qin Zhong said and made a gesture. He looked very elegant and was still no weaker than the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs.
"Make your move," Ye Futian said. He was now a Grade Two Noble in both sorcery and martial arts, and his plane was stable. He had also sensed a bit of the power of the Sage Plane. He wanted to see who was the first below the Sage Plane in Zhisheng Cliffs.
Qin Zhong walked out. He did not release a very strong aura from his body. He walked leisurely and did not look like he was at the peak of the Noble Plane at all. His calm demeanor made people feel a sense of extraordinary confidence.
Ye Futian glanced at Qin Zhong and released his spiritual will. The space where Qin Zhong was seemed to have frozen in an instant.
The spell, Space Freezing.
Everything seemed to have slowed down. Qin Zhong felt as if his body was frozen in the space, unable to move. He looked surprised. As expected of the number one noble in the Barren State. His will realm was indeed terrifying. Ordinary nobles would not have been able to withstand a single blow, and he would have been able to control them in an instant.
It was a pity that the person Ye Futian encountered was him, Qin Zhong of Zhisheng Cliffs.
Dazzling light was suddenly released around his body. Qin Zhong's body became extremely holy in an instant. Light surrounded his body, and mystical power flowed on the surface of his body.
Voom. His body sped up all of a sudden, becoming incredibly ferocious. The power of Space Freezing had no effect on him at all.
He moved extremely quickly, appearing before Ye Futian in an instant, and pointed a finger at Ye Futian.
That seemingly simple finger attack was the same as what he had done to Ximen Hanjiang in the Holy Zhi Palace. It seemed casual, but Ye Futian could clearly feel an extremely terrifying power hidden within it. That power made him feel like it was the power of sages. It was the power of rules.
The number one person below the sage level in Zhisheng Cliffs. He had already mastered the powers of a sage and comprehended his own rules. That was a terrifying talent.
That meant that Qin Zhong was able to do the same thing as Bai Luli, taking on a sage.
Dazzling starry light screen appeared around Ye Futian's body. Martial will burst and turned his surroundings into an absolute realm, pressuring Qin Zhong.
However, Qin Zhong seemed to have no reaction at all under that pressure. His finger continued to fall, hitting the starry light screen around Ye Futian.
The starry defensive light screen cracked in an instant, and countless cracks appeared before it exploded.
The power of rules was able to tear through the defenses of all nobles, and it was even more so for Qin Zhong, who was known as the most talented of the Nine Warriors.
As such, he was known as the number one person below the sage level in Zhisheng Cliffs.
While Ye Futian was known to be invincible in the Barren State, in his eyes, as long as one was not a sage, there was no difference.
"Bang."
The starry body collapsed completely, and Ye Futian's body retreated like a bolt of lightning. That finger landed where he had been standing, and a vortex appeared, imbued with terrifying destructive power. It was as if Ye Futian would have been pierced through if he had been just a bit slower.
"The power of rules. The Son of Zhisheng Cliffs is someone like Bai Luli." Many great figures looked at Qin Zhong. Bai Luli had defeated a sage when he was at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane all those years ago, becoming a god with that one battle.
If one wanted to defeat a sage, one had to comprehend the power of rules.
At that moment, Qin Zhong was evidently one of those mighty ones. Ye Futian, however, was only a Grade Two Noble.
Many people looked at Ye Futian, who was retreating. In the younger generation, Ye Futian was almost an undefeated legend. Many geniuses present, including Di Gang and Li Futu, had all suffered at his hands. And now, the mighty ones of Zhisheng Cliffs had displayed extremely terrifying combat prowess before the mighty ones of the Barren State.
Qin Zhong, like Bai Luli, might be able to defeat a sage. Ye Futian was definitely not just fighting a genius of the Noble Plane.
